Following-up. Decided to try to do the run as prescribed. Getting up at 0330 really sucked (considering DST and it felt like 0230).Tomorrow I have a Strength run scheduled in my plan. Slated for 3k WU, 6x1.5k @ MP-10 w/500m jog in-between, then 3k CD.
Sunday was supposed to be 3k WU + 12k Tempo + 3k CD, but I ended-up doing the 12k Tempo at roughly MP-10. Not really intentionally, I was just running mostly by feel/HR and that's what it came out to be.
So, tomorrow, since I can do the 12k entirely at MP-10 (as I did Sunday), should I just do that and forget about the jogging breaks in-between? Would really simplify things. Or am I supposed to follow the letter of the law? Or perhaps I should amp-up the intervals to MP-20 (for example) and keep the jogs?
Thanks for taking my call. Will hang up and listen.
It was hard to keep a constant/faster/MP-10 pace for the assigned distances because of ice. While temps were nice (~0C/32F), there had been some melt/refreeze overnight and there were lots of icy sections I had to slow down for.
So while I didn't hit the paces precisely, it did feel like a run of consequence. Didn't help that I have new pain on my lower shin but hopefully that's just another one of those things that lasts a day or two and then disappears.
Three easy 10Ks between now and my 10K race on Sunday.
